2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Feel so dirty cheering for TAMU and Texas

I thought we were brothers

[CAGASS24]

WVU currently a last four bye NCAA team- they are 26 in the NET.  They have three remaining conf games all against ranked teams with two on the road.  They are currently 5-10 in conf.  You wouldn't think the losses would do much to their NET.  Could a 5-13 regular season conf team make the NCAA?

So Alabama's star freshman and future lottery pick Brandon Miller supplied the eventual murder weapon upon request of the eventual murderer. I can understand why the local DA can't do anything about that...but I have some questions about why the University hasn't done anythin about it.

Nate Oates looks really bad in all of this.

His "wrong place wrong time" excuse was quite possibly one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Oates is a clown. Anything for a title though.

Wrong place wrong time? As in the place and time the murderer told him to be with a gun?

MU dodged a bullet...oh wait

Yup, all while his car ended up with two bullet holes. Incredible stuff.

How has Miller not been charged with accessory to murder? he brought the damn gun, AND it was his car that blocked in the victim. What am I missing?

[HowardsWorld]

Im willing to bet by tomorrow he will be suspended for the rest of the season, which imo is a slap on the wrist.

A close second was consulting Ray Lewis on how to navigate the situation

Maybe now that it is getting public attention, but Oates claims that he's known this for months

[Shooter McGavin]

Is this on the ESPN ticker?  I don't see it on their website. Any major outlets covering this?

Technicality...it's "Oats."  "Oates" is the hack reporter from Madison.

My understanding is that Miller isn't charged with anything because he brought Miles' his own gun, which then Miles provided to the shooter. Yeah its a technicality that he is an accessory to an accessory, but apparently that's how it is viewed in Alabama - and perhaps elsewhere.  IDK.

Just goes to show you that winning basketball games is more important than ethics. I saw that in a movie once, think it was called Coach Carter.

Oh I agree that he should be suspended.  I actually think Alabama should be suspending their entire season.  But that's not happening.

And Miller will be in the NBA next year.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

"Wrong place, wrong time" is one of the all time big PR fails.

Especially at such a big athletic institution like Alabama where I'm sure they're media trained weekly. How can you let that one pass?

My Houston future looking even better now

[THRILLHO]

It's really weird. Is it possible he provided some information to police/prosecutors and is getting lenient treatment for it?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

He could have. But again, my understanding is that because he gave someone a gun, who then gave it to someone else to kill someone, that the accessory charge won't fly.  The police said there was nothing they could charge him with.

Shame on you for making me laugh.
